Miss Universe Results Spark Controversy After Winner Walked Out On Organizers

Lebanese-French musician Omar Harfouch announced his resignation on Instagram, claiming that the finalists had already been pre-selected by the eight-member jury ahead of the big night.

However, on Tuesday, November 18, the Miss Universe Organization released a statement refuting Mr. Harfouch’s claims, stating that “no external group has been authorised to evaluate delegates or select finalists.”

Shortly after, French football manager Claude Makélélé also stepped down, citing “unforeseen personal reasons.”
